I JUST WATCHED THE FIRST TWO MASTERS OF THE AIR EPISODES AFTER WAITING THREE YEARS. inner child? healed. warning: mota spoilers !!

just a little TOO obsessed with bucky + buck. “don’t count on it”???? DONT COUNT ON IT ! i had better see more of that. i physically need that little catchphrase played out on austin butlers tongue again. catch me quoting that on a gifset. it really is giving “going my way?”

BARRY KEOGHAN THE MAN THAT YOU ARE. his cheeky little smile. him blowing kisses to callum! sweet boy. *pointing to the sky* that’s where i’m going. WHEN HE CALLS THE TWO BUCKS AND BUCKY CALLS HIM THE LITTLE SPOON I GIGGLED! I LOVE THEMM

yeah also the fight scene in episode two um yeah. yeah. bucky teasing “pity pity pity!” he’s the funniest man alive and he knows it. also i find it so amusing that callum turner said for this role he drank a lot of whisky and ate burgers and really that is spot on.

crosby. what an icon. him saying something along the lines of if overthinking was a sport i’d win an award. ughhh also his and bubbles’ friendship! they are so so adorable. bubbles just being called bubbles. i want to tap him on the nose !

lemmons is such a little ball of sunshine. i really appreciate the love that the mechanics are getting because the book did mention them. he loves kids and he has such a bright smile

these are just my initial thoughts after witnessing it with my own two eyeballs. cannot recommend it enough and i will be rewatching until the next episode. i wish they showed more of their training like band of brothers. there is that clip of austin butler marching with some men, though, so i really really hope we get a backstory

ALSO I GENUINELY WENT THROUGH THE. BIGGEST LOUIS HOFFMAN PHASE RECENTLY AND UR TELLING ME HE IS IN THIS SHOW. IM SORRY?? YOURE JOKING. werner pfennig what are you doing here 💝

Be My Princess 2’s Childrens (PT. 2)

so, i will only translate a little bit of the second CG (image in the right) because if i translated everything, it would be a loooot... and i would stay here for days and days. but there's context, i will also talk about why the nickname, if it's too different from the name! here is part one of the princes.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

King Oliver & Prince Arthur (“Watson”).

why the nickname Watson? Prince Arthur said he couldn't tell about the future to Oliver, then got the nickname from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes.

King Oliver, MC and Prince Arthur went out for a walk on Oliver’s birthday and, in the middle of streets, two chefs were fighting over a pizza, complaining about copying each other. Oliver then proposed they jointly promoted the pizza, so the public can say which pizza taste better. the two chefs liked the idea, Arthur was amazed. after coming home (and Werner yelled at Oliver), Arthur decided it was the best time to give his father the birthday gift, a book he made. Oliver started reading and praising the drawings too, making Arthur embarrassed. MC and Oliver were moved after reading that Arthur wanted to protect the country’s peace just like his dad and they hugged as a family. next few days, taking a break, Oliver said he likes to read Arthur’s book every day, the kid saying he'll make a lot of drawings. Oliver thanked MC for raising such a kind child.

King Max & Prince Anselm (“Muu”).

why the nickname Muu? Prince Anselm was seen with a sheep plushie when he traveled to the past + the last katakana of his name, Muu.

Prince Anselm was anxious for his speech on King Max’s birthday party, so he froze in front of everyone. Max and MC were worried for their kid, she was going to help Muu-chan, but Max stopped MC, saying he believes Muu-chan will do it on his own time. little by little, Muu-chan steps to his dad, giving him a bouquet and an album, full of photos of them. MC is relieved, and then comments the album is incomplete, it's missing the last photo. Max is curious, and Anselm says it's reserved for a photo of the three of them. they ask Butler Gaston to take photo of them together, everyone applauding the family. Muu-chan and Max are relaxed and MC thinks it's a good time to take a picture of them again, asking for Gigi’s camera. later, MC talks about how Gigi is partner in crime of Anselm, taking the photos of them together.

King Lyuo & Prince Theodore (Teddy).

King Lyuo and Prince Theodore got sick after spending some time together, and MC was worried about Teddy not being fully healthy for Lyuo’s birthday party. Prince Aslan appeared, making Teddy happy, he really likes Aslan. MC let them talk and Aslan ask what Theodore is feeling, who admits he feels sad for being sick and not getting a gift for his dad. Aslan then, secretly gives an option to Teddy. after party, MC cooks for Lyuo, who was feeling sick and occupied and ended up not eating much. they celebrate as family. when getting ready for bed, MC notices Lyuo and Teddy sleeping and accidentally wakes them up. she feels happy to see them hugging, they weren't feeling very well before. Teddy admits he is feeling guilty, thinking he was the reason why Lyuo was feeling bad too and tries to make a spell for Lyuo to get better soon. Lyuo feels happy and hugs his kid really hard, feeling very hard to spend time with him again.

BONUS:

Butler Jin & Ren + Prince Shion & Ruito.

because it's the first time there's an event with Shion & Jin with their son, that's the event their son travels back in time.

Ren thinks Jin and MC doesn't get along, because MC always deny Jin’s touches in public. she is just a little shy with it plus thinks it's not an appropriate way to behave in front of their kid.

Ruito is worried that Prince Shion and MC are feeling overwhelmed with work, so he asks Butler Kent to help him make omelette, because he knows eating a delicious meal makes him feel better. MC and Shion are very happy to see their son being so caring, and there's the sense of they did something right in the future. after Shion’s birthday party, Ruito gives him a bouquet he made himself to Shion, congratulating his father for his birthday and Shion is feeling very proud of his son. after hugging Ruito, a light appears and take the kid back to the future. Shion comments Ruito is really MC’s son, for liking flowers and aromas.

some of these images aren't mine, it's from some of my friends but they allowed me to post it, besides it's from voltage’s anyway.

[slightly-gay-pogohammer]

honestly i know its mostly a shoutout to von croy leaving lara in the pyramid when he was Literally Mind Controlled than anything else but. i do think that her “egypt werner - you walked away and left me” thing was like because he kind of left her by herself after finding her?

like. he brought her back to civilization, maybe stood by her side for a week or two, and then. nothing like from the moment she was found to AoD there were 3 years of... god knows what. 3 years in which she didn’t indulge in tomb raiding nor any physical activity, 3 years in which she got much more reserved, introvert and aggressive. i. believe that eventually he did left her by herself. that she closed herself in her manor.

he was one of her very few friends - literally just her butler, her childhood priest and a character introduced specifically because they had to retcon another - talk fondly of her after her funeral. everyone else in her life is either an enemy, someone who died, someone who distanced themselves from her/she distanced herself from, or a mix of the three (imagining that aunt margaret is no longer with us, anyway). what tells her that von croy didn’t spend a year looking for her for good publicity? out of guilt? for his own ego? in a moment in which she’s so vulnerable, i think she could easily come up with that conclusion, and i. personally don’t think that’s it? granted their relationship after the TR4 prologue was strained at best and antagonistic at worse, but he is the one person who kept believing she was alive. he is the one person who spent an entire year looking for her. werner is the one who told her that he couldn’t leave her when an entire pyramid was collapsing, running away just because he would’ve ended up crushes as well - just like she did when she was younger. werner is the one who could’ve tried to fight back when karel went to kill him, but used his very last breath to save her life. despite everything that happened, despite all the time that they hurt eachother - that she hurt him - he did all he could to fix the mistakes he made and protect her, and lara understanding how much he cared for yer only days after his death is. SO important to me!!

i don’t know ik im rambling but. i just think werner is SUCH a neat character and AoD, at the end of the day, really was meant to be a story about lara relearning to trust people okay!!!!
